<p class="text-muted mb-3">Tractor Driver</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Salary: Up to £40,000 per year</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Location: Kent</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Hours: Permanent | Full-time | On-site</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This is an incredible opportunity to join a large, ambitious vineyard and agricultural estate set within the Kent countryside.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">With hundreds of acres of land, extensive vineyard operations and a strong focus on organic and regenerative farming,</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">this is anything but a standard Tractor Driver position. The estate combines viticulture, agriculture, conservation and land management, creating a working environment where no two days are likely to look the same.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">As the estate continues to develop, they’re now looking for an experienced Tractor Driver to become a key part of the team.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">The Opportunity</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">You’ll work across a large and varied estate, operating tractors and agricultural machinery while supporting the day-to-day running of the vineyard and wider land.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys working outdoors, takes pride in looking after machinery and wants variety rather than doing the same job every day.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">Depending on the season, you could be working within the vineyard, supporting land management, assisting with cultivation or carrying out general agricultural work across the estate.</p>
